Celebrating Our Stars:
The Cristina Project Scholars of 2025!
This year, our hearts are overflowing with pride as we celebrate a truly remarkable group of seniors who not only crossed the graduation stage but did so with the support of the Cristina Project scholarships.
These aren’t just scholarships; they are a testament to dreams nurtured, hard work honored, and futures illuminated. Each scholarship represents a belief in their potential, a boost to their aspirations, and a recognition of the incredible journey they’ve undertaken.
As they step into their next chapters, whether it’s college, career, or beyond, we know they carry with them not just diplomas, but the unwavering spirit of the Cristina Project and the immense pride of our entire community. They are ready to change the world, and we can’t wait to see the incredible impact they’ll make.

A Day of Hope and Healing
at Sprint for Life 2025!
What an incredible day it was at this year’s MD Anderson’s Sprint for Life! Our TCP team was absolutely thrilled to return to this inspiring event, raising vital funds for ovarian cancer research and connecting with so many resilient individuals. The energy was palpable, a beautiful blend of hope, determination, and community spirit.
Our booth in the Education/Outreach area was a hub of heartfelt activity! We loved seeing so many of you stop by to create “Get Well” cards, each one filled with messages of love and encouragement. These cards, along with comforting essentials, became part of our special TCP Cares Care Packages, which we had the immense privilege of distributing to those bravely navigating chemotherapy treatments.
Giving those packages was a truly moving experience. To see the smiles, to share a moment of connection, and to offer a small gesture of comfort to those in the midst of their fight – that’s what TCPis all about. It reinforces our commitment to supporting not just research, but the human spirit during challenging times.
Thank you to everyone who joined our team, donated, or stopped by our booth. Together, we are making a tangible difference in the lives of many and fueling the critical research that will one day find a cure. We’re already looking forward to next year!

About Cris

Maria Cristina “Cris” Garza was a woman who is remembered for dedicating her life to helping others and sharing messages of Faith, Family, and Education. She devoted 35 years to the welfare and education of children as a teacher, counselor, personnel specialist, and parent liaison in several school districts across Texas. Cris also served on the board of directors for the Association of Advancement of Mexican Americans for many years. AAMA’s goal is to inspire and empower at-risk Latinos to pursue their potential and achieve success. Her strong faith and commitment never wavered even as she battled her 10-year fight against ovarian cancer. Even though she was the one fighting, her strength helped lift up those around her. Cris touched so many lives and inspired her children to carry on her vision of helping others. The Cristina Project’s goal is to help others help others. It is our mission to teach the youth the importance of volunteering and giving back to their communities.
